Warwick and Leamington, Parliamentary constituency in West Midlands, United Kingdom
Warwick and Leamington is a parliamentary constituency in the West Midlands that covers two towns along the River Avon. The area combines the medieval town of Warwick with the spa town of Leamington Spa, sending one representative to the House of Commons.
The constituency was created in 1885 through the Redistribution of Seats Act, replacing the earlier Warwick seat that had sent two representatives to Parliament. This change reflected shifts in population and the evolving representation system during the industrial period.
The constituency represents both the medieval character of Warwick and the Georgian architecture of Leamington Spa, reflecting different periods of English development.
The constituency covers two separate urban areas that deserve equal attention when visiting or exploring the region. Both towns are well connected by public transport and offer different entry points depending on where you are coming from.
The area experienced an 87-year period of Conservative Party dominance from 1910 to 1997, including several uncontested elections during this timespan.
